Twice now, I’ve had calls from this number. I worked out it’s from a life insurance firm named Hug Life. They keep ringing from slightly different numbers if you don’t pick up, even after I blocked them before. Proper annoying!

Been getting calls non stop today from this number, about 10 times! They say they're selling windows and doors or something. Its just really annoying, especially for an old person being bothered like that.

Got a text saying my card was just linked to “Steve’s iPhone 18 pro” on Apple Pay, which isn’t my phone at all. It said to ring the FCA helpline on 03330541322 if it wasn’t me. Feels like a fishy scam to me.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Domestic and General, telling me my payments were dropping. Just last week, I got my yearly bill for my appliances and the payments actually went up. The caller said they'd explain everything over the phone. I told them I was busy and asked them to email me the details instead. Of course, never got anything in my inbox.

Got a text about needing to approve an Amazon payment, with a number to ring back. Looks really dodgy. Best to just ignore it and not reply at all.

Got a call with no number showing, thought it might be some sort of scam, so I just didn't pick up.

Scammers seem to be obsessed with targeting us Brits. They manage to make enough from their calls to enjoy a decent, tax-free lifestyle. It doesn't matter if you block their number – they’ll just ring you from another one. Reporting their calls on websites like this doesn't bother them at all. They're well aware that folks checking these number lookup sites are less likely to fall for scams, even though many might eventually get caught by more advanced AI voice scams down the line. What really matters to scammers is when their calls, texts, and emails get reported to the police and OfCom, who actually have systems in place to tackle them. There was a post this morning, about 15 entries back, explaining how to report these nuisances. It makes a difference when hundreds of reports pour in for each scam message or call, so keep reporting whenever you get one!

Got a call from a number labelled MachineMax on my phone, I picked up but there was nothing but silence. When I looked it up, turns out MachineMax is some kind of software company with office hours from 9 to 5. Feels like this number's being faked to trick folks. Just a heads up to everyone!

I keep getting calls from numbers that are almost the same, but they just hang up as soon as I answer. Really annoying!

Barely understandable English and they never mentioned their company name, just kept repeating “repair quote” over and over. Ended up blocking them.

I kept getting calls from this number, but whenever I picked up, they just ended the call straight away.

Number showed up as suspicious so I didn't pick up and just blocked it straight away.

They called about housing stuff, but it felt like a total scam to me.

They called me two times but I didn't pick up, pretty sure it's just another scam.

Picked up the phone but all I got was silence, so I just ended the call.

Just got a message today about a new direct debit being arranged, and it told me to ring Lloyds on 0330 059 6005 if I didn’t know anything about it. Something about it seemed fishy, especially since it came from a mobile number. After looking at the comments here, looks like it’s a scam for sure.

Just got a call from Scan, asking me loads of questions about housing problems. Bit random but seemed like they really wanted info about where I live and if I had any issues. Quite unexpected!

Got a call from someone saying they were with a ‘home assessment’ group. Totally sounded like a recorded message, nothing genuine about it.

Got several calls from this number today but they never left a message. Decided to block it.

This number rang me twice today but every time I picked up, they just hung up straight away. Bit weird!

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise and my phone immediately marked it as possible spam.

I got a message too, saying I had to ring Nationwide right away – defo a scam, don’t fall for it!

Got a call from someone pretending to be from the council’s housing repair service – total scam. Just hung up and blocked the number straight away.

This number keeps buzzing me non stop but never leaves a voicemail. When I tried to ring back, it just made a weird noise then hung up. Definitely looks like some sort of scam.

Just got another automated call from a dodgy number. I regularly ring these bastards back, and sometimes they actually pick up - oh, the fun that follows then. If you’re hoping to know whether your fake numbers have been flagged, trust me, they have. And honestly, you’re nothing but filthy scumbags leeching off people.
